recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of a Construction Contract between Genesee County and Sorenson Gross Construction Company, with a total cost not to exceed $290,000.00 with a 7% contingency ($20,300.00), for the McCree District Court - Courtroom #2
BACKGROUND:
With the ongoing District Court consolidations, there is need for an additional Courtroom/Referee Room. The build-out will occupy an area that was vacated by the MIDC office and prior to that was originally a District Courtroom.
DISCUSSION:
The process has been vetted by the county's Purchasing Department. The scope of work was completed by an architect to ensure compliance with current building codes as well as ADA accessibility with direct input from District Court leadership, Facilities and Operations, and Information Technologies, as well as the court recording vendors to ensure a fully functioning courtroom that meets all the needs. While it should be a straight-forward project, I would ask for a contingency of 7% ($20,300) to address any unforeseen issues or necessary work that may need to be scheduled after hours or on overtime to minimize disruptions from the other adjacent courts and/or offices.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
None.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
To be paid from account 4018-255.06-975.001.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
Facilities will be the contract administrator.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
None.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
Will help with efficiencies of the courts to provide adequate Courtroom and Referee space to adequately schedule dockets for the resolution of cases.
